The situation with MVS systems is very similar to that of VM systems not
running a mailer and RiceMail or equivalent. You have a thing that comes
with TSO (or TSO/E or whatever) which generates a certain type of notes,
in Netdata-note format. This thing (sorry I don't know the name, I know
it only from notes I got) does work with LISTSERV. Then you have about
200 flavours of locally-written or locally-modified or vendor-supplied
mail systems which all do things differently, much like locally-enhanced
NOTE EXEC's on VM. These generally don't work.
Files from an MVS system not running UCLA-mail or the like generally show
up as 'userid OUTPUT' from SYSTEM@nodeid (or #@nodeid, or something
similar). I have seen all imaginable classes, although A is the most
common. If there are Netdata headers, LISTSERV can get a rather good idea
of what the thing is (mail or file), but if it comes in PUNCH format it
usually ends up treating it as a file. If you generate RFC822 headers and
can set the NJE filetype to MAIL, your problem will be solved.
